Hey all,
Great work by everyone this weekend. Our traffic is skyrocketing over the last couple days (I think it could have something to do with Bill Parker’s gallery from the Jills Calendar Release Party, but of course I’m just guessing here :))
I see that our photographers are using more appropriate titles and descriptions for photos and sets, thank you!
Our writers are also flexing those creative muscles…we’re throwing out the rules and writing from a more entertaining perspective!
I have a box of MyBuffalo.com cards on my desk – if you need another stack of cards to hand-out at events (this goes for writers and photographers) – let me know. I can either mail them out or you can pick them up at The News.
Are you linking your photo galleries, articles, and blogs on MyBuffalo.com to your social network pages (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.)? Are you making sure the organizers of the events also see your work? If no, why not? Brag about your great work!
I’m sure that most of you have received MyBuffalo.com t-shirts. If not, let me know and I’ll get one to you. I encourage everyone to wear them while taking photos and writing articles at events.
Are you active on MyBuffalo.com? Are you posting comments to other people’s photos, blogs (I’ve seen a few comments on my “Baby Chronicles” blog – thank you!), articles? Are you active on our message boards? If not, it’s time to step up. You are the “super-users” who give us great content, now’s the time to stay active - PARTICIPATE on the site!
When you are requesting events – I need three things from you: name of event, day/time, location. PLEASE do not reply back to this email, instead create a new one with Buffalo.com event request in the subject line.
Thanks again to all!
Deanna
